The bed was comfortable. The bathroom a good size. The room and bathroom were quite clean, and the cleaning staff did a great job of freshening up the room each day. The patio area with its garden was a nice spot for breakfast. The fish in the pond were a nice touch. The concierge was extremely helpful and friendly, and he gave us a nice tour of the entire hotel. The hotel is conveniently located near an Underground station.

Featuring ultra-chic interiors and a private garden, Number Sixteen offers glamorous accommodation in cosmopolitan South Kensington.
